Reasons for use DBMS in home or company

The term DBMS stand for Data Base Management System. The basic
use of the term DBMS is to store the large amount of data in the
organized, secured data in the integrated way.

The uses of DBMS due to which a company or a home user would
want to use DBMS are shown below:

• DATA CENTRALIZATION: DBMS allows the user to store all
the data in a single computer rather than having different files on
the different computers. This reduces the number of times the data
has to be updated and hence it decreases the amount of errors.

• RELIABILITY OF DATA INCREASES: Since the data is
present at a single place so the reliability increases as the error
is less and the updated data is available for all.

• DECREASE IN DATA REDUNDANCY: The term data redundancy
means that the same data is available at different files. Since the
data is present at one place rather than distributed on different
files at different places. So, this decreases the chance of data
redundancy.

• SIMULTANEOUSLY ACCESSING DATA: DBMS allows the feature
that more than one user can access the data at the same time. This
results in the increased productivity.

• INCREASES THE SECURITY OF DATA: DBMS has plenty of
security features in it. Like, sensitive data can only be viewed by
a selected group of users who have the authorization. Those users
have their login id and passwords which are not known to others so
only they can view the data.

• INCREASES THE PERFRMANCE OF DATA: The fast access of
the data through various methods like- indexing and simultaneous
access, results in the increased performance of data on the large
amount of data.

• INCREASE IN DATA INTEGRITY: DBMS saves itself from the
“bad data” by using the features named transactions, constraints
and triggers. Transaction means that the data is accepted if it is
completely received otherwise it is not accepted. Constraints mean
the set of rules that are applied to the columns. Trigger means a
specific code that runs when we view a particular code.
